Lego Minifigures Series 1: Skater



Super Wrestler
“I will defeat you – with HONOR!” Only three things matter to the Super Wrestler: his mask, his honor, and the time-honored art of wrestling. He throws himself at every challenge that comes his way with gusto, counting on the strength of justice and his muscular arms to save the day, no matter the odds or danger. When victory is his, he throws out his arms to the sound of roaring cheers and wild applause…which is a little odd when there doesn’t seem to be anyone else around.

There are few situations that the Super Wrestler doesn’t think can be solved with a bold battle cry and a fancy wrestling move. The surprising thing isn’t that he treats life like it’s all a big wrestling match – it’s that so far, it’s always worked!

XandersBrian Review:

This is a "World Wrestling Federation" inspired minifigure. The masked muscular wrestler is equipped with a red robe are ready to enter the ring for a match.

Aside from the printed torso and legs, this is one minifigure that doesnt have enough accessories.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Spaceman



Spaceman
“Greetings, strange creatures. I come in peace!”This brave and intrepid space traveler doesn’t quite realize that he’s not out exploring the cosmos. The Spaceman walks in long, slow bounds across the landscape, somehow ignoring the fact that gravity is perfectly normal for everything else around him. He’s friendly and fearless, always happy to investigate a strange new place or salute a stranger with a universal-greeting hand gesture, but his unshakeable belief that he’s dealing with alien creatures and worlds can lead to a lot of confusion for everyone involved.

The Spaceman carries a sci-fi gizmo for just about any situation, including hi-tech binoculars, a grappling hook, a jetpack and even a tiny, remote-controlled space rover. Just be careful if you startle him into thinking that you’re an attacking hostile alien – his futuristic Electro-Zapp blaster fires a zig-zagging electric beam that can zap the hair right off a minifigure!

XandersBrian Review:

This Spaceman has a white printed torso that has the classic space logo embedded at the center of his chest. One more thing here is his helmet is not the usual regular helmet but something different which conseal the visor when if it was putted on.

Lego space collector will be excited to add the new Laser Gun weapon which is included in this set. They even add extra clear visor in case you lost it. A blue light saber is attached to the gray Lasergun in each package.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Skater

Skater
“Bet you can’t do THIS!”
according to www.lego.com

The young Skater practices all the time to be the greatest skateboarder in the world. He lives for speed and tricky stunts, and when he’s around, any and every surface becomes his own private skate park. His board is his prize possession, and he always makes sure to keep it clean and shiny, even when he gets totally grungy himself.

The Skater is extremely competitive, and he can’t stand to see anyone do something better or faster than he does. His rivalry isn’t just limited to other skateboarders – he’ll try to out-race trains and out-jump pigeons flying in the park, just to prove he can. He hasn’t beaten them yet, but he’s sure he will some day!


XandersBrian Review:

Im not a great fan of Lego city theme but this minifigure looks really good specially his expression which show either confidence or boastfulness. This cool looking civilian boy has a wavy hair and his torso has the skull design makes him look young and hip.

This minifigure is great addition for city themed Lego collectors especially the blue skateboard which is included on each package.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Nurse

Nurse
“Don’t worry, you’ll feel all better after this!” According to www.lego.com

Cheerful, professional and devoted to making people feel better, the Nurse believes that every
body around her ought to be as healthy as possible at all times, even if that means covering them from head to toe in bandages and checking every reflex in their body with a little rubber hammer. She can tape up a boo-boo, dash to the scene of an accident with a wheelchair or build a fully-functional MRI machine out of random spare pieces, all in a dizzying blur of motion…whether her chosen patient wants her to or not!

The Nurse thinks that every problem can be solved by expert medical care. If she sees a child crying because its balloon is stuck up in a tree, she’ll try everything from checking its temperature to taking X-rays, trying more and more complicated procedures when nothing seems to solve the problem. She doesn’t understand why the tears stop as soon as she gives the child a new balloon for being such a good patient, but she’s proud and delighted that her treatment worked anyway.

XandersBrian Review:

Finally, lego collectors can now have a beautiful Nurse who will appointed to take care of patients inside hospital. This rare female minifigure has a lovely printed face, nice printed white nurse uniform on her torse and a nice hair piece.

The syringe accessories is specially made for this series, one more good thing is, you will got another one extra syringe. A printed 2x2 tile which reflects the medical condition of the patient are also included

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Ninja

Ninja
“Like a shadow in the night, I – oops!”according to www.lego.com

Stealthy. Sneaky. A cunning master of martial arts. None of these things describes the Ninja, although he sure wishes they did. He tries his best to dramatically blend into the shadows or hide in plain sight like all the other ninjas can, but no matter what he does, he always seems to mess things up. The truth is that he’s just plain clumsy, and no matter how gracefully he may start a back-flip, creep along the rafters or launch himself into an epic sword battle, he always manages to trip over his own feet, fall off the ceiling, or bonk himself on the head with his ancient and mystical blade. Also, he’s afraid of the dark.

No one is quite sure how the Ninja ever managed to graduate from ninja school. But no matter how bad he may be at his chosen profession, he always keeps trying and never gives up, convinced after each blunder that the next time, he will prove himself a true ninja warrior for the ages.

XandersBrian Review:

Ninja is one of my favorite character in any role plating game due to their skills, I am really upset when I didn't have the chance to purchase the ninja sets when I was a kid before until Ninja has made a re-appearance on this year. I was very excited and purchase several Ninja minifigure so I can build an army of Ninjas in my Lego Collection

This ninja has a black printed tunic, a regular ninja headgear which has a clip at the back for the katana. The head piece has a nice printed face and each package includes two gold katana.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Forestman

Forestman
“Have no fear, for I am here!” According to www.lego.com

The brave and fearless Forestman is always arriving just in the nick of time to save the day. Whether he’s swinging down on a vine to rescue a damsel in distress, leaping boldly from the castle battlements to duel an evil duke, or making an incredible trick shot with his bow and arrow to help a friend in danger, he is at all times the very model of a chivalrous hero of legend and yore.


The Forestman loves to make a good first impression and is always practicing his dramatic entrances to get them just right. He’d come to the rescue anyway, of course (it’s just in his nature to right wrongs and fight injustice wherever he finds them), but it’s terribly disappointing for him if no one is around to see him gallantly arrive on the scene for his latest feat of swashbuckling derring-do. He’s only sad for a moment, though, and then it’s off to battle the bad guys and save the day once again!

XandersBrian Review:

Wayback before, i always want to have this minifigure when I was a kid. Forestmen are one of the legendary factions of Lego Medieval theme proclaimed in the 1980s for their resourceful strategies against the lego Knights and Bandits. Equipped with bow and arrow, the forestman can take down any enemies and take the treasure away from them to share with the poor.

I purchase five of these to create a small faction on my lego collections. Their head has a printed face similar to the iconic "Robin Hood" and their green printed torso was really nice. This minifigure is equipped with normal bow and arrow weapon, a quiver, and a nice archer hat with red plume. One good thing here is you will also get additional red plume as extra in each package which is very sweet and useful not only to this faction but to any headgear as well.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Deep Sea Diver

Deep Sea Diver
“Blub blurb glub?”According to www.lego.com

The Deep Sea Diver seems like a nice enough fellow, but no one can tell for sure, because no one can understand what he’s saying. Whenever he speaks, all that comes out is burbles and bubbles. He might be easier to understand if he ever took off his diving mask and air tank, but he thinks that he can’t breathe without them and always keeps them on, even when he’s walking around on land – which is a pretty funny sight, thanks to those big flippers on his feet!

The Deep Sea Diver loves the water and can often be found swimming around in fish tanks and bathtubs, hoping to spot rare and exotic fish. He loves to tell stories about his amazing undersea adventures, but of course it’s impossible to guess what he’s actually talking about. His gestures and sound effects certainly make it all sound very exciting, though!


XandersBrian Review:

One thing I notice in this minifig is this minifig belongs to the City Theme. Unlike on other Aqua Theme minifigures such as AquaShark or Atlantis Aquanaut, this minifigure has a normal oxygen tank, a nornal Headgear and a nice blue printed torso.

Aside the unique oxygentank, one cool thing on this minifigure is the eyegear which is attached on the normal headgear. This neon blue clear eyegear was unique and cannot be found on any below 2011 Lego sets.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Magician

Magician
“Hey presto, allez-oop – and it’s gone!”
According to www.lego.com

Appearing out of nowhere with a flourish of his cape and a twirl of his elegant, curly mustache, the mysterious Magician is the ultimate in stylish showmanship. He loves a good audience to appreciate his incredible and sense-defying magic tricks, but watch out – not only is he an amazing performer, but he’s also a talented prankster as well! He’ll confuse, bewilder and amaze with a mix of sleight-of-hand and impossible feats, and the more surprised his audience is, the better.


Whether he’s making a flock of doves fly out of his wand or pulling a giant rabbit out of his magic hat, the Magician is always ready to put on a spectacular show…right up until he vanishes without a trace in a flash of lightning and a puff of smoke!


XandersBrian Review:

This magician minifigure looks like a carnival magician for me who has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. A top hat, magical baton and extra hairpiece is included in this package which is useful for customizing some other minifugure.

The head was nicely printed with a mustache like the other magician and his black printed torso is useful not only as a magician outfit but can also be used as a formal attire for any Lego Minifigures.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Robot

Robot
“Not building does not compute!”
According to www.lego.com

With his powerful metal body and mighty claws, the Robot may look tough, but what he really loves to do is build, build, build! Constantly clanking, beeping, whirring and sending out jets of steam, he works tirelessly day and night, searching out spare bricks wherever he can find them and stacking them together to create the biggest, tallest and most incredible structures that you can possibly imagine. In fact, he loves constructing things so much that sometimes he forgets to recharge his circuits and freezes in place, right in the middle of building.

He’s slow to react to things that he doesn’t expect, and prone to occasional short-circuits, with a tendency to walk right into holes, spin around suddenly in place or crash through walls without even noticing. He also has a bad habit of “finding” bricks in other people’s creations and marching off with them, right over or through any obstacles in his way, but don’t blame the Robot – it’s just his programming!


XandersBrian Review:

I always want to have a mechanical robot which is much more different on my typical Spaceman Robot minifigure I got from Exploriens Droid Scout. Its head has a printed mechanical face much more closer to the film terminator and its headgear looks like a bucket with two antenna on both sides of its ears. The mechanical right arm was awesome and the its hands can be replace by any standard cylinder lego accessories.

The color of this minifigure is somehow silver and it has a printing on both torso and legs with screws in metal plate style. I want to purchase several of this minifigs but I have a doubt that lego will make a different robot minifigure in the future so I only purchase two of these.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Zombie

Zombie
“Briiiiiiiiiicks…” According to www.lego.com

Slow in speed and even slower of mind, the lumbering Zombie may look a little scary, but he’s completely harmless in every way. Everything he does is slow, mindless and repetitive, from zoning out while watching TV, to waiting in line at the grocery store, to stacking one brick on top of another to build a perfectly even, completely featureless wall that stretches along for miles and miles.

If you interrupt him, he’ll just stare at you blankly before going back to whatever he was doing before. If you put an obstacle in front of him, he’ll keep bumping into it over and over again until someone turns him around. If you pick him up and move him to a new place, he’ll start doing something mindless there instead. The only thing that seems to motivate him is his cherished turkey leg – if you dangle it in front of him, he’ll stretch his arms out toward it and follow it wherever it goes.

XandersBrian Review:

The time I discovered that Lego will launch a zombie minifig, I know it will a a big hit for sci-fi and horror builder. The game Resident Evil always came to my mind when I decided to purchase a couple of this minifigure. This minifig has a gruesome expression showing no mercy to its victims. a torn business outfit and tie printed on his torso look awesome as he terrify the city with his presence.

This minifigure is equipped with a Turkey Leg and a Shovel, even it is quite odd for a zombie to have these accessories, I purchase five of this minifigure to terrify any lego factions under my possession.

Lego Minifigures Series 1: Cheerleader

Cheerleader
“Gimmie an L! Gimmie an E! Gimmie a G! Gimmie an O! Yaaay!” According to www.lego.com

The Cheerleader is perpetually filled to bursting with energy, excitement and enthusiasm. She prefers cartwheels and handsprings to plain old ordinary walking, and she waves her pom-poms around wildly whenever she talks, which is pretty much all of the time.

The Cheerleader loves to cheer people on, no matter what they’re doing. Whether they’re changing a light bulb, building a wall or just crossing the street, she’s always there with a peppy cheerleading routine to encourage them to do their best and never give up. It can actually get kind of annoying sometimes, but her perpetual good mood and sunny smile are so contagious that it’s hard to really mind.


XandersBrian Review:

Yeah baby! This unique sexy cheerleader minifigure has a long blonde ponytail hair, a blue printed torso, and white printed leg. With this gorgeous babe, the city themed lego will be much more exciting specially on olympic or sports club fanatic builder. With her two blue pom poms accesories, this minifigure will be great in numbers and will make any lego sprts team looks cooler.

However, since im not in a City theme collector, I only purchase one of this minifigure. Since im dedicated to collect all Series one minifigure and an female lego minifigure is rare, it is worth it.
